Could you perhaps send it to him privately?

Thanks

7. Previous version of firmware or software that worked as expected: Before 20H2 Windows 10 and Intel MCU Update
8. Clear description of your issue:

ASUS Mothership GZ700 CPU OC No Longer Working in Armoury Crate.
Before that the disable mcupdate_GenuineIntel.dll method worked to restore OC for the CPU.
Now that method no longer works. In addition to the previous issue that was posted on the last release other third party software like Intel XTU and Throttlestop no longer works as Armoury Crate will now force the CPU and GPU revert to stock when the application is running in the background. As soon as I close the app it makes all cores go to default.

If I press the ROG key the profiles for "Turbo" and "Manual" temporarily stick.
Turbo used to keep the CPU at a steady 4.9 GHz across all cores. Now Armoury Crate sticks it to 4.2 GHz and will not let any other program modify it.

Now before I get the answer you can't mix third party software that might conflict with Armoury Crate...I have uninstalled them, tried with just AC...and every thinkable combination. It is indeed Armoury Crate causing the issue.

I didn't pay $6,500 USD for a gaming laptop that can't OC. The lack of response is a little frustrating seeing as a new set of laptops was announced and it seems like ASUS is behaving like Apple and throttling down previous gen products with crap updates which is BS.

Please just update this software or release a BIOS update to allow OC for the ROG GZ700GX please. We need a 304 BIOS UPDATE!

My CPU Fan RPM still shows 0. The controls seems to be fine but it would be nice if I could get it to where it needs to be done.

I used the uninstaller tool, restarted the machine, ran the installer -- restarted. waited the requested time frame. Watched task manager to see if the process was still running -- it stopped. I opened AC and checked the version history
